what address do you recommend to use for mining in a production network?

You can use any BTH address

Bravo! What a good answer, thank you for it!

[dvrminer]

Looking for info on where and how to get a bithereum address, or convert bitcoin address? Website links have provide a bitcoin address starting with "1" and looking for a "B" address. Trying to get it sorted before mainnet goes live.

On a side note : has mainnet gone live? on BTH.altpool the "network" hash and difficulty has skyrocketed in the last hour yet the "pool" hash itself is not showing anything, and bithereum.explorer is still offline?

Mainnet is still not yet active and use Guarda if you want a wallet addy quick

However, to gain profits from PoS in the future a full node is required from what I understand.

Main net will go live once the nodes have synced which will happen within 24 hours or so..

Yes, the address you generate on the site starts with a "1" which is Bitcoin format, Bithereum format addresses start with a "B", they share the same private key and you can convert between the two addresses, which we're hoping to provide a quick converter soon. Alternatively, you can import that private key into our Electrum wallet or Guarda and it will provide you with the "B" address, or you can create a fresh address through Electrum or Guarda.

Mainnet has not gone live yet, we're working as quickly as possible to get our BTH full node synced with BTC blocks up to 555,555 which is taking longer than anticipated, however rest assured it will be completed soon. The hashrate and difficulty shown on BTH.altpool is for testnet, and will correct to mainnet and bithereum.explorer will also be up once we're live. These metrics being shown on altpool therefore have nothing to do with how mainnet will start as difficulty resets.

After we successfully sync our node we'll wait for the pools to sync as well before we start mining so no one who is mining BTH for the difficulty reduction will miss out on the opportunity.

We appreciate the patience and support from the community!

As far as PoS goes, our model does not require running a full node and is separate for someone to participate in staking. You can check out our proof of concept here: https://medium.com/bithereum-network/bithereums-proof-of-stake-concept-b06899fa4950 This model may change as we begin development and tests as we aim to get this in place in a year's time.

And yes, mainnet will go live once the nodes have synced and all the other pool's nodes have synced as well. Stay tuned for when mining will begin!

This is awesome, thank you! Could you also add LuckyPool whenever you get the chance: https://bth.luckypool.io/

Thanks!

when start?

[Bithereum Network]

when start?

We're working to get our full node fully synced with BTC blocks up until block 555,554. There were a few issues we came across during the process which we have been tirelessly aiming to resolve and mainnet should be up and running by the end of the coming week. That's when mining will begin. We'll keep everyone posted on the progress!

[Bithereum Network]

Our syncing issues have been resolved, now we’re finishing up syncing additional nodes for others to sync from. We also have a 210 GB bootstrap file that we are working on providing pools with by today/tomorrow; updated code will be pushed on our GitHub soon as well. We will aim to mine the first block today to trigger syncing across the network for everyone and then pause mining and wait for the pools to finish syncing to restart the network. Once we mine the first block, it will be entirely dependent on how fast pools sync, but rest assured, mining will begin prior to the end of the week. Once the network is up, it will go straight into the massive difficulty reduction for the first 20,000 blocks so stay tuned!

[Bithereum Network]

We've officially mined Bithereum's "genesis" block (block 555,555) and we are excited to say that this coincides with Bitcoin's genesis block's 10 year anniversary! We have since stopped mining after the second block (block 555,556) and are now working on recompiling our builds and finalizing our mainnet infrastructure.

We will be providing pools with our 210 GB bootstrap file along with our full nodes they can sync from by the end of tomorrow. Pools can then begin syncing and once this is complete, Bithereum's mainnet mining will officially commence. Once the network is up, it will go straight into the difficulty reduction window!

Bithereum is here!!!

[Bithereum Network]

Pools are almost done syncing and mainnet is likely to fully launch tomorrow, January 5th.

Join a mining pool before mainnet launches to participate in the difficulty reduction window!

Bithereum mainnet is officially LIVE! Thank you to everyone who has supported and helped thus far; this is just the beginning! So many things to come in the very near future so stay tuned!

What wallet we supposed to be using? I downloaded 18.8 as 18.9 does not have windows or didn't at the time of download

[Hyp0crit]

Tried mining at start and same as above couldn't find windows wallet so I used web wallet found from pool "quarda" .. So far there is no any received coins tho.

[Valter84]

Hello,

Latest wallet version is not available for windows.
https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases/tag/0.18.9

Downloaded this one (https://github.com/BTHPOS/BTH/releases/tag/v0.18.8) but doesn`t sync...

What should I do?

I am mining to a address generated with wallet v0.18.8 will I have problems?

Thank you.

[Dznutz]

Right, same thing I asked yesterday. Love this idea and would love to mine some but lack of solid information on wallet and would seem zero communication on what to do at this point is making me second guess tossing hash at it. Either that or they are trying to mine as much as they can before fixing the issues

FYI if you downloaded the 18.8 wallet and used the address to mine to but it wont sync, I went to https://guarda.co/app made a wallet then dumped the private key from the 18.8 wallet and imported it there.  This pool said I mined xxx amount but only xxx amount made it to the wallet. Low and behold I have coins now wink
